It's a Fact. Vegetarians Last Longer

Vegetarians Last Longer

A friend of mine posted a link to a video about all the despicable things they do to animals in the food industry. The motive of the video, of course, was to shame people into never eating meat/fish/poultry again.

Too bad it won't work. Not for the masses anyway.

If you really want to hurt the animal produce industry and really want people to stop eating meat/fish/poultry then you have to take a different approach.

You need to think like a product marketer. You have to focus on peoples' selfish desires (concious or unconcious).

In other words, you have to use the carrot—not the stick.

I imagine a marketing slogan like "Vegetarians Last Longer" which implies a longer life and (for fun) better sexual stamina for men.

I turned (mostly) vegetarian for health reasons. My
cholesterol was bad. I struggled with weight. (I wasn't obese, per se, but on my way to that destination.)

And I've never eaten more in my life. And I eat a lot. And that's the only negative I have about the diet is that I eat and eat and eat.

So, kids, it's easy to get on your (moral) high horse by trying to make everyone else feel guilty by showing inhumane videos. But don't go there. There is a better, more effective way. Put on your marketing hat. Focus on the benefits. The weight loss. The dramatically lower cholesterol. And, for fun, the better sexual performance.

Vegetarianism as Masculine Trait

Eating meat is a cavemanish thing to do. Or so that's what
many believe. So when you're preaching vegetarianism you're going to get lots of resistance from men. The primary objection is that humans were, in fact, designed to eat meat and fish. Don't debate this one. It's true. There's no other purpose for incisors. So don't argue.

Just focus on cholesterol and weight. Cholesterol and weight. Because someday they'll notice that a lot of their friends are having
heart disease, cholesterol, and high blood pressure problems. And once they're
looking that the realities of a shorter lifespan they'll be more open minded. Until then there's no point in arguing.

I gotta tip my hat to the milk marketing folks. They've
done a fantastic job. Same with the egg marketing folks. They pound
it into us. If vegetarians
truly believe in their cause, and want to spread the word, then they
have to become better marketers than the milk boards and the egg
marketing folks. No more cheap guilt-laden videos
that nobody has the stomach to watch. Vegetarians can help reduce
cruelty to all those farm animals by doing a better job of promoting
the benefits (e.g. longevity) of vegetarianism. It's a huge challenge, I know.
But that's what it's going to take.

So, vegetarians, get off the moral high horse and
get to the real work at hand; marketing.
